Girovi Gray/Rust 5' x 8' Rug

It is common for rugs to have minor ripples after being rolled for shipping. To get your rug to lay flat quickly, we recommend "reverse rolling" the rug—tightly rolling it in the opposite direction for 24 hours. For persistent curled corners, you can place heavy books or furniture on the edges for a day or two, or use a low-heat iron as specified in the product maintenance instructions to safely relax the fibers.

This rug is specifically engineered for modern, high-traffic living. It is fortified with an integrated non-slip backing that provides stability on hard surfaces like wood or tile, helping to prevent sliding. With a very low 0.25-inch depth, it provides excellent clearance for robot vacuums and will not obstruct door swings, making it a highly functional choice for tech-integrated urban apartments.

Choosing the correct scale is vital to prevent a rug from "floating" in a room. For a queen-sized bed, the 6' x 9' version of this rug is the ideal choice to ensure a soft landing on both sides and the foot of the bed. For a king-sized bed, we recommend the 8' x 10' size. To maintain a balanced look, follow the "18-inch rule" by leaving approximately 1.5 feet of bare floor between the rug’s edge and your bedroom walls.

This rug is designed for effortless maintenance and high durability. For a deep clean, our care guide recommends using a commercial-sized front-load washing machine with cold water and a liquid detergent that does not contain bleach. To preserve the integrity of the synthetic yarns and the non-slip backing, line drying is highly recommended. If you choose to use a dryer, select an air-only cycle with no heat. For minor daily maintenance, the synthetic material allows for quick spot cleaning with mild detergent and regular vacuuming.

Yes, this rug is an excellent choice for pet owners. The distressed contemporary pattern is particularly effective at masking pet hair and everyday debris between cleanings. Furthermore, the rug is crafted from robust synthetic yarns and features a built-in non-slip backing, which provides essential stability for active pets and is more resistant to snagging from claws than high-pile or looped alternatives.

In humid regions, such as coastal Florida or the Southeast, material choice is critical to prevent mold and musty odors. This rug is constructed from synthetic fibers, which are naturally more resistant to moisture and mildew compared to natural fibers like jute or wool. The slim 0.25-inch profile also promotes better airflow, making it a durable and practical option for high-humidity environments or sunrooms with high-window exposure.
